BUSDEV's Trophy Showcase (5)

Hi Buddy! Excuse my delay. It took 25 years before I resumed chess. Now, I could make a long explanation for my silence, but I do not, any more than that you are not the only one who waits for a response from me. But those great moments I've had watching TV with my grandparents, mom and dad, and my other siblings, when Sweden met the Soviets in ice hockey. Today, hockey lost its status as a hit. Why one may ask. I started playing chess as a child. I'll date myself with this statement, but I really fell in love with Chess when American champ Bobby Fischer met Russian great Boris Spassky in Reykjavík, Iceland for the World Championship of Chess in 1972. It was a HUGE media event watched worldwide. And I was one of the millions of kids who hung on every move of that magnificent match. Over the years I played a lot of Chess. Later, when pursuing a career as a processional hockey athlete, I put Chess away for another day. Happy to say Chess is back in my life. But of course chess is more rewarding in the long run than what hockey is? Chess can go on with well into old age. Naturally, I filled the 50th For each year that passes, I appreciate more and more chess. But it is slow. It became far here, hope you could read it. Take care and good luck in chess and life.
